You can rely upon our blanks specialists to assist you with everything from grade selection to preform design for your die and bushing blank needs for applications including:
Gundrill blanks can be full-length sticks, cut to length heads, and can have preformed, presharpening angles included. Round or other shaped coolant holes including single hole, double hole or kidney holes can be manufactured.
Standard gundrill extrusions up to 12.2” long are available in diameters ranging from 0.098” to 0.770” OD and are available with three different coolant hole geometries. Gundrill heads requiring diameters greater than 0.770” OD can be manufactured with one or two coolant holes.
Preform flat blanks from H. B. Carbide use the same high-quality materials and state-of-the-art machining technology as the rest of our carbide blanks and preforms. Flat blanks capabilities include wire EDM blocks, saw blanks, form tool blanks, rest blades. HB Carbide EDM blanks are guaranteed against cracking. Flat blanks are custom manufactured to your specifications.
Preforms for flat blanks can include the following features:
